I presume we are talking about the Faulkland Islands.

In pure terms of Geology, the Faulkland Islands fall into a special category. The Faulkland Islands were once part of the the same techtonic plate as Australian, not South America. Essentially, geologically speaking, that group of islands is more related to Australia than South America, and to a lesser degree, more related to Antarctica that South America in the same sense that the Faulklands are more a 'sub-continent' like India than an actual part of a given continent.

Strictly geographically speaking, the Malvinas are on the South American tectonic plate.
 
Strictly astronomically speaking, our Solar System is a tiny grain of sand from all the world beaches, in this galaxy alone.
While there are billions of the other galaxies.

Strictly speaking, they are now but were not about 250 million years ago. :P
